Scientist has discovered a new planet called 'O'. There is infinite amount of water and oil in that planet. Now you has to bring them to earth. You has some rockets to bring them to earth. But the storage capacity of rocket is finite. So launch the rocket before it explodes.
This game's graphical presence is quite impressive for a jam game. The game play is nice and smooth, and the design of the world gives off a very alien vibe. However, the game really wasn't very entertaining, and that really brings it down.
This game looks really nice! There are however some things I noticed:
Why do you need to press "M" to launch a rocket? To me it would feel more logical if you could "press" a button with a mouse click. Or even a letter close to WASD, zo you don't have to move your hand.
Also, there is a difference between the fuel meter and the launch panel. Why not combine it? Simply have a launch button in the middle of the fuel meter.
Lastly, the info at the top is handy, but it's hard to see what rocket has what number. Perhaps make it more clear or put it on the minimap.
Still, these are only small things. The game feels and looks really great! :)
I enjoyed the graphics alot, and the game runs smooth, but I had issues with trying to seng rockets to earth, even when I was right by them. I think that tweeking the issue will make this a great game.
It's nice to look at, but very boring to play. All you do is run around in circles, and without fun music or fun context, it quickly became very tedious. Also, it lacks some crucial sound effects, like rocket explosions.
Graphics are good, but mechanics are rough. Movement bouces the view around too much. Running to each rocket feels more like work than fun. Audio could use some work, could use some audio and visual notifications of fill level of rockets. Should be a way to clear destroyed rockets. Interaction could be done with mouse instead of M.
Lastly the game might have done better as an above RTS style of economy game. In which you could see all 4 rockets at once and just pressed buttons to fire. It would bee a little less interesting but mechanically would feel more solid.
Beyond that good job would like to see were this goes.
The mechanics could use more work, also I have an ultra wide screen monitor and couldn't see the buttons on the bottom of the page unless I restarted and dropped down my default resolution.
The graphics were great, and the basic premise of the game works well. Music and different sound effects would've helped, and a larger minimap would help identify rockets that are nearing launch, since it wasn't immediately apparent which ship was which. The setting was well done, though!
Hello, The idea is really nice, you completly fit the Theme. Only problems, the "M" key is so far maybe it would have been better with mouse click. Graphics are simple but nice mood :) Congrats for the entry ! Maybe you can checkout our game too ;)
@nehal Congrats on ur first ludum dare game jam and i say that as a fellow first timer.😅 I really liked the graphics and the premise of the game. Though as everyone said already u nead to change the "M" key. Overall nice try and congrats again. Please do try and rate our game too.
I feel like the gameplay could be improved. I found myself just constantly sprinting and pressing the "M" button along the same path repeatedly. I like the graphics along with the animations. You should change the launch rocket button from M because it's on the other side of the keyboard from WASD.
Great game! For something made in such a short time, it has great potential. I think you should actually consider working on this game later on as a full-time project. Add new features, and maybe even post it on steam as a free-to-play with in-game purchases, or premium subscriptions. Keep up the good work man!
Your game well fit the theme and the graphics look very nice! However I think the mini-map can be zoomed out a little bit and a player location symbol can be added in the mini-map.
pretty cool game. i love the surface of the planet! it really runs smooth and the gameplay is simple and easy to pickup. i find the choice of the launch button a bit odd since it's a bit far from the wasd or arrow keys or probably that was intended to add some difficulty. it would also be great if there were some enemies or aliens that you need to kill. or maybe you can also repair the rockets that was damaged by the enemies. overall, a pretty good game. great job!
